BURGLARY SUSPECTS ARRESTED
On the night of December 20th, 2022, deputies responded to a reported burglary and theft at Ray’s Food Place in Selma, Oregon. The suspects fled the store before employees could report it.
Using video surveillance provided by Ray’s Food Place, a male and a female subject were seen entering the store together. The male entered the stores office and unsuccessfully attempted to gain entry to the safe. The male then stole a wallet from an employee’s purse and stole cash from a register before they both exited the store. They left the parking lot in a white van travelling north on HWY 199.
A similar incident was reported by the Ray’s Food Place in Merlin that occurred the evening of December 20th, 2022. Nothing was taken in that incident.
